Gagan Thapa’s relationship with entrepreneurship is two fields:

1) With exception of the time he has spent on leading street movements and andolaans, Gagan Thapa has always worked ever since finishing his School Leaving Certificate exams. He has held jobs as a teacher, a sports commentator, and a radio news-reader. He has also been a founder and partners in several private enterprises himself, including a DJ school (2005), and a media management company (1999/2000). He has also long believed that Nepali politicians should not have to depend on their work as policy makers to make a living. This is why he himself is an agro entrepreneur who helped found a livestock farm five years ago, and a meat shop two years after that.

2) “If we enable the entrepreneurship spirit of Nepali, it will transform our economy and society for the good,” he has said consistently. Gagan Thapa worked actively as a Parliamentarian on domestic policies that would help create a better environment for young entrepreneurs in Nepal. And in the last two years alone, he has helped hundreds of youth across Nepal try their hands at being an agro-entrepreneur. “When I started my livestock farm I realized how inaccessible even basic information and services related to operating such an understating are,” he has said publicly. “But as I traveled through the more than 62 districts in the last three years, I also realized that my venture had sparked a new interest amongst people to engage in the same field. And I wanted to try to make sure they did not have to repeat my mistakes or go through the challenges I faced.”
